Trends in Spatial Analysis and Modelling

This book is a collection of original research papers that focus on recent developments in Spatial Analysis and Modelling with direct relevance to settlements and infrastructure.Topics include new types of data (such as simulation data and mobile data), applications of methods to support decision-making, and investigations of human-environment data in order to recognize significance for structures, functions and processes of attributes. Research incorporated ranges from theoretical through methodological to applied work and it considers geo-statistical and geo-computational investigations. It is subdivided into four main parts: the first focusing on the research of settlements and infrastructure, the second studies spatial planning data, the third is aimed at investigating scale-dependent differentiation of spatio-temporal phenomena, and the fourth part is dedicated to planning and development.The book will be valuable to those with a scholarly interest in geotechnology, as well as anyone interested in spatial analysis and the planning of human settlements.The selected papers were originally presented at the "International Land Use Symposium (ILUS 2015): Trends in Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Settlements and Infrastructure" November 11-13 2015, in Dresden, Germany.
